4PLAY: Chasing the big "R"

Thoughts for the day, and in general, how I feel about what we are trying to accomplish with FOURPLAY that perhaps is out of step with the times, but hopefully speaks to some eternal truths that remain constant. The last of the short films that make up the series has wrapped, so now just in post-production land for 2011. Happy Holidaze! - Kyle

Romanticism is precisely situated neitherin choice of subject nor exact truth,but in the way of feeling.

- CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

The moment of desire ! the moment of desire ! the virginThat pines for man shall awaken her womb to enormous joysIn the secret shadows of her chamber : the youth shut up fromThe lustful joy shall forget to generate and create an amorous imageIn the shadows of his curtains and in the folds of his silent pillow.Are not these the places of religion, the rewards of continence,The self-enjoyings of self-denial ? Why dost thou seek religion ?Is it because acts are not lovely that thou seekest solitude,Where the horrible darkness is impressed with reflections of desire?
